I
I'VE HELD A LOT OF THINGS IN MY OL' TOW HANDS
AND I'VE LOST THEM ALL I'D INVEST.
BUT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER PLACED IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD
THESE THINGS I STILL POSSESS.
II
NOTHING LEFT ON THE ALTER WILL EVER BE LOST
NO MATTER HOW GREAT BE THE COST.
OH IT MAY BE RICHES, FAME, OR SUCCESS
LEAVE IT ALL ON THE ALTER
AND THESE THINGS YOU'LL POSSESS.
CHORUS
I OWN THE KEY TO A CITY WITH STREETS OF PURE GOLD
AND SOME DAY ALL OF HEAVEN WILL BE MINE.
SOMETIMES I'M ASHAMED AND I MUST CONFESS
WHEN I COMPARE WHAT I HAVE GIVEN
WITH THESE THINGS I POSSESS.
